Ah, Summer! My dear little Astromuffins it's a great time of year, don't you think? Like Mama Starr said last time, it's a time of growth in the garden-are you tending yours? In review from our last chat over a cocktail we know that Saturn and Uranus are in a square aspect which creates an adventure focusing on habits and patterns. We all are getting a chance to see firsthand what's not working. Marvelous process my dears-change in the air! Since your lunchbox is packed and ready to go, let's see what opportunities and challenges the planets are serving for each sign. Don't forget Mama Starr's SUMMER TO DO LIST in the last issue.
This period's sign is CANCER and we are beholdin' to the following for their contribution to this Zany world! Celeb CRABCAKES are: John Quincy Adams (July 11), Georgio Armani (July 11), Julius Caesar (July 12), Harrison Ford (July 13), Ingmar Bergman (July 14), Rembrandt (July 15), Ginger Rogers and Barbara Stanwyck (July 16), Phoebe Snow (July 17), Nelson Mandela (July 18), Carlo Santana (July 20), Robin Williams (July 21), Pink Warrior-Alexander The Great (July 22) and Omar Khayyam (July 25).
CANCER (June 22-July 22) Glow little glow worm, you're on center stage. If you're hitched, stop playin' who's the boss and where that romance buggy's goin'. Enjoy the ride. The New Moon hits July 12th and you'll be a Love charm , sweetie! Get deeper into that special someone. When the Moon transits Scorpio July 20-22 you'll have a chance to rediscover your sweetheart or maybe not-maybe that one's not the kind and amiable one you thought. If you're single, beginning July 5 Mars in Scorpio opens romance as a possibility in your career or field or closely related to them. Keep your eyes open! Around July 12 your show is hard to resist. July 20-22 discover that special sweetheart. Finances ($): don't be too scared to ask your family for help with a career move-how many times do they have to tell you-they'll help if it's workable. Lay off the plastic, honey, I can smell it burnin' from here!
LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22) The only thing as big as your opinion of yourself is your large and wonderful heart! You are the marryin' kind-if you don't know that- you will! Practice giving of yourself as much as you want to give material things. While old Pluto is in retrograde, established relationships are in synch better than new ones (unless of course that special right one from the past enters stage left). The Sun in Cancer is linked to your 12th House Of Hidden Dreams-what you secretly hope for. So what if you are not as outgoing as usual? Don't fret , it's a natural annual cycle of self-rejuvenation! Do enjoy some quality time with a sweetie. Remind your buds that you need your privacy. Get a plan and stick with it when the party lure beckons my little Lion King or Queen (whateverrrrrrr). Balance is the key here, and you do know what that is. Finances ($): Honey did that hunch pay off? You can afford that dream vacation can't you? Do it and meet some gogetters with bucks that can spoil and fondle you a bit! Keep excellent financial records-you may need them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Venus may play matchmaker on the Cancer Moon Days July 11th and 12th while the Sun is partyin' in your House of Friendship-a buddy turned sweetheart. Little Virgin, you must loosen up a bit in your approach to romance-have some fun- and be spontaneous. Lord knows you need it. If you must apply your perfectionism try being a perfect Virgin dog-sleep when you need to, eat when you are hungry, play a little, appreciate strokes from others, give others a pat on the head, be content with the bone for the day and bark at people that are mean to you (or at least don't let them get to you). Finances ($): Who are you tryin' to impress sweetie? Is all that extravagance neccessary? Don't we always say, "It's who you are, not what you have to show, that counts?" Learn some new job skills-isn't it about time?
LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) If you're looking for a mate (and every Libra that's not hitched, and some that are, are looking for that significant relationship), the company picnic might just be the place! Cancer is linked to your career and shines a sweet light on coworkers. Since Uranus is retrograde all summer long, get togethers with friends will be more fun than singles smashers with lots of strangers. Keep that cookie monster at bay my little balancing act. Review and revise those eating habits so you have an easy energy flow all day long and at nighttime too! Try a little research into dreams, yours particularly. Not the tawdry ones Blanche! Finances($): Pinch pennies, but let's not be penny wise and pound foolish! Try not to juggle too many job offers or income prospects at once or you may end up knee deep in alligators while everyone else is eatin' catfish and hushpuppies!
SCORPIO (Oct.24 - Nov. 21) My favorite lovers, if I ever had any that is, would have to be Scorpions. Your pizzazz, sweetie, comes from that delicious mix of your ruling planet Pluto and its sidekick, CO-ruler Mars. Impassioned and earnest lover that you are, you Scorpions sometimes get a bad rap-like you're on some kind of pleasure-plow road trip. Alas, so often misunderstood is the fact that Neptune, ruler of Pisces, your romance sign, adds psychic and spiritual dimensions to your tasty sensuality. However, with Neptune backsliding right now, most of your lovemakin' is in your head (that's not a bad place to start-everyone does it!). July 12th-21st, when Venus advances in Virgo, a friend just might introduce you to someone special. Try changing your appearance a bit! Relax, relax, relax. If you don't know how, learn how! Refocus and relax. Finances ($): Take on a little extra work for extra pay and you'll soon work your way out of your financial mess. If you have an opportunity for a vacation later this year-say wintertime-take it, it'll work out just fine.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Romance is lookin' good through July 27 while Jupiter is in Aries which guides your romance. Mars kicks in a bit of spitfire and adds depth and somewhat of a psychic quality to romance. Don't be afraid of showing your human qualities to your sweetie. Under the influence of Cancer, ruled by the moon, you might experience some comfort that special someone to know that even you get the blues occasionally. It has been said that learning is your life long passion, fun loving Archer. Your excellent research habits should come in handy as you begin to review and refocus on your goals for an improved and workable health strategy! Finances ($): All kinds of adventures are doable if you'll pack it in with buddies and pool those resources!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) If you find yourself being a bit flirty and fickle-blame it on the Moon! Cancer, the current sign is ruled by the Moon and changes signs every two or three days! You've been looking in all the wrong places for that elusive sweetheart. Climb out of the rut, go new places, make new friends and add some variety to your life if you really want to meet that special someone! Your Health sign is Gemini, ruled by Mercury. You are what you eat, for you, is translated to you are what you think. Your thoughts can serve you for ill or health!. Finances ($): Are you about a dreamy new job? Remember put the word out to pals before you buy anything expensive, usually they'll know, or know somebody who knows, where to get it cheaper.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) It's time for Aqueerian fun when the Sun is parked in the Solar garage of Cancer which is linked to your health and job. Romance is headin' your way these days! Be ready by lookin' good and having an idea what you're gonna say for openers to that cutie! Might feel a bit moody heh? It's the Moon linked to the current Sun sign Cancer. Good! You need practice being open about your feelings-and probably shocked that such a warm response comes back to you! In health, at least, give in to a routine! Eat regular meals at regular times with snacks that support good energy flow! Finances ($): It seems your hidden talent for attracting money is beginning to appear. Savings anyone?
PISCES (Feb.19 - Mar. 20) With Neptune, the ruler for your sign, retrograde all summer and your co-ruler, Jupiter, retrograde for over a month, the pull of the past is strong. You might decide to try again with a blast from the past. If a romantic miracle can be performed, you can do it! Unfortunately, the other better be as much a giver as you are. July 11th-13th is ripe for pizzazz in a long term love affair or great for a new one. Be a kid again! Play by the sea and run on the beach, let your creative self just giggle and bubble! This brings great healing energy as well as rejuvenation. Take time to clear all the clutter form your life. It's good for mental and emotional health! Finances ($): A pal's suggestion about making extra bucks from la casa may just be the solution you've been looking for. Add red light bulb for front porch to your shopping list.
ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 9): Chill out with your partner, Rambo! Breathing space is needed here! Jealousy is not becoming to a snappy Ram. Home is where the heart will grow fond and cuddle your sweetie. Mars in Scorpio is adding a lot of passion and depth to your romantic interludes. Your instinctive trust of the Universe brings you a good deal of healing power. Your natural instincts are usually pretty song sweetie. Forgetting to listen in any area? Finances ($): Be prepared, Ramcakes, you just may have the opportunity for a new job with challenging responsibilities.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): Starting July 12th Venus (your ruling planet) advances in Virgo (your House of Romance ruler)-this is good for new love. July 15, 16th and 17th finds the Moon visiting your Romance sign, so Pink Bull, a double whammy for romance! Don't cast caution to the wind, but do send your inhibitions and typical coolness a packin' and just go with the flow. Let that madcap relationship with a stranger teach you a thing or two. For someone with so much reserve, flirting may be gaining you the wrong reputation. If we want to know about habits we can ask a Pink Bull! Your saving grace is your earthy, fixed variety of sticking with something that you commit to! You know what your diet and fitness needs are: commitment anyone? Finances ($): When that new career opportunity presents itself, check it out thoroughly first, then indicate your willingness!
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): If you feel like a new love interest is trying to manipulate you, "yo is probably cookin' with gas honey," as my Aunt Carla May used to say! The Libra Moon of July 18th and 19th is very promising for romance. You may find that you can actually enjoy romance in a business setting. Scorpio ruled by Pluto and Mars is your Health sign. It's intense and directed and the Twins use this energy to keep in touch with their feelings and also to master them. Eat, sleep, work and exercise at regular times each day-as much of a burden as that seems-to keep a steady flow of energy. Finances ($): Moon ruled Cancer is the money sign for Pink Twins, so you ought to be well off enough to enjoy some recreation! If wealth and charm is what you're after in a sweetie, now's the time, twincakes! Important decisions about finances need to be made with sound advice from an experienced and knowledgeable mentor or friend.
